Abstract
A new variety of hybrid Asiatic lily plant having very short stems bearing large clusters of medium sized, upright flowers particularly distinguished by their vivid orange-red coloration and generally inconspicuous spots, excellent flower form, long persistence and an abundance of foliage, making this plant especially suitable as a pot plant variety. The color pattern of this new plant and its silhouette are completely new in the upright Asiatic divisions of lilies suited for forcing and mass commercial cultivation. The plant is an excellent garden plant highly resistant to diseases and showing high tolerance of virus and its bulbs may be precooled and forced throughout the year for pot plant production.
